You must provide all required documentation at the time of your appointment.

Should your license be denied you will be contact by certified mail which includes the appeals process.

In an effort to make the application process efficient, you are asked to show to your appointment on time.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment follow the instructions given in the confirmation e-mail, please do so within 24-48 hours so we can make that time available to another applicant.

If you are RENEWING your license you may do so up to 90 days prior to the EXPIRATION DATE listed on your license, and anytime thereafter. If your license should be EXPIRED there is no penalty when renewing. Be aware the State of Ohio only allows you a 30 day grace period to still be able to carry on an EXPIRED LICENSE. It is your responsibility to give yourself ample time to renew your license to avoid a lapse in coverage under Ohio's Concealed Carry Law.

Payment is only to be made in the form of a Money Order, Certified Bank Check, or Cashier's Check.

We DO NOT accept Cash, Credit/Debit Cards, or Personal/Business Checks

Any questions anyone may have concerning the Carrying Concealed Weapons Law or if you are applying for a "Temporary Emergency Permit" can be directed to the Sheriff's Office by contacting (216) 443-5587
